Can acupuncture help with weight loss?

Garden Acupuncture doctor shares his personal story of 110-pound weight loss.

Acupuncture is well known to effectively treat pain, insomnia, and allergies but did you know it can also be used for weight loss?

Our own practitioner, Alex Goldberg, is a testament to this. He lost 110 lbs by using acupuncture, Chinese herbal formulas, and changing his diet.

In 1999, feeling fed up with being overweight and struggling with daily bouts of fatigue, exhaustion, and insomnia, Alex began the journey of weight loss. He began getting acupuncture, taking Chinese herbal formulas, and became a vegetarian. In one year he lost 60 pounds. Since then he has lost another 50 pounds. And guess what...not one pound was ever lost by working out, going to the gym, or doing any other form of exercise. He lost over 100 pounds by simply eating right and incorporating Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

We not only use acupuncture for our own benefit, we successfully help patients achieve their weight loss goals. Recently, our 53-year-old patient has lost 45 lbs and is now eligible for a necessary hip surgery.

Don't believe there are weight loss protocols from China? Our other practitioner, Lisa Metzger, LAc completed an internship at the weight loss clinic in Guang An Men Teaching Hospital in Beijing, China. Click the link to find out more.
